The Breakaways by Cathy G. Johnson

adventurous hopeful fast-paced

2.5

Grabbed this graphic novel from a free little library on my way home and read it on the train ride. The art style is really engaging, and there was a solid foundation in terms of characters and potential themes to explore with a few subplots that I found especially meaningful. The direction of the graphic novel was unclear to me for most of it though. I only became invested in the last quarter or so and by then it was over too soon as the resolutions came too fast and felt somewhat unearned. This would have been a great longer graphic novel that focused in on a few specific characters or a longer graphic novel series that explored all the characters and subplots more in-depth.
